Your facial features are central to your overall aesthetic, so it is crucial to maintain the vibrancy of your skin. At Artemis Aesthetic Center, we offer many types of microneedling treatments to patients hoping to reduce wrinkles, sunspots, and acne scars.
PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) microneedling in Westminster is an optional enhancement. It rejuvenates your skin by promoting new, healthy cell growth. The treatment combines two techniques that stimulate the body’s growth and healing processes, resulting in skin that appears smooth and unblemished. If you want younger-looking and healthier skin but do not want to commit to an invasive procedure, PRP microneedling may be the best choice for you.
PRP microneedling treatments promote healthy skin growth by combining two different aesthetic techniques. Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation method that involves creating micro-injuries within the skin using thin, sharp needles to stimulate new skin growth. PRP is a concentration of proteins and platelets from your blood and helps speed up healing.
Combining microneedling and PRP techniques allows for more impressive results than either procedure alone. The proteins and platelets found within PRP help the micro-injuries heal faster than they would with a traditional microneedling treatment. Further, combining the two techniques shortens the recovery period and minimizes side effects after treatment.
A PRP microneedling treatment could address many aesthetic concerns, including:
This effective procedure could help you achieve skin that looks brighter, healthier, and more even in texture and tone.
PRP therapy uses injections made from a concentration of the patient’s own platelets. We first draw a small amount of the patient’s blood and then place it in a centrifuge that isolates the platelets and forms the PRP solution.
During a PRP microneedling session, your aesthetician will use microneedling to create the micro-injuries that stimulate new cell formation.
Next, the PRP is applied topically onto the micro-injuries or injected across the skin. After a treatment session, the body begins to naturally heal the micro-injuries with new skin cells while removing dead, damaged cells. While the skin heals, the PRP decreases swelling and redness, ensures proper healing, and reduces the necessary recovery time.
PRP microneedling treatments are minimally invasive and require a short recovery period. Four to five days after treatment, it is typical to experience redness, tenderness, soreness, and mild bruising on the face. More severe side effects rarely occur but can include swelling, acne breakouts, oozing, and small bumps on the skin. Infections are also possible if bacteria enter the micro-injuries, but you can avoid this side effect by following your aftercare instructions carefully.
PRP microneedling can be a great way to smoothen your skin and restore your youthful appearance. However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for the treatment. This procedure may not be right for you if you have the following medical conditions:
